**Introducing The AVENUE! The LJMA Soul Band**
We’re excited to introduce The Avenue, the first band in the brand-new Band Program at Laura Jean Music Academy!
Created as a supplemental performance opportunity for select intermediate students enrolled in private lessons at LJMA, Band gives young musicians the chance to take their skills beyond the lesson room and into a true band environment.
Unlike traditional ensemble programs, the commitment is intentionally minimal—but the expectations are high. At the beginning of the semester, each student receives professionally prepared charts and customized sheet music, prepares the requirements during their private lessons and then arrives at the first rehearsal fully memorized and performance-ready. Just like in the professional music industry, rehearsals are for refining the performance—not learning the material.
Students then spend one intensive week rehearsing together for two hours each evening, culminating in a live performance at the Make Music Day Festival in Santa Monica.
This immersive format teaches musicians how to prepare independently, collaborate efficiently, and perform with confidence in a real-world setting.
This invitation-only program is designed for select intermediate students at LJMA who demonstrate the musicianship, dedication, and readiness to thrive in an ensemble.
The Avenue is just the beginning. Next year, we’re excited to expand the program with the launch of an Indie Rock Band and an 80s Cover Band giving students even more opportunities to explore different styles while gaining authentic performance experience.
Join us as we celebrate the launch of The Avenue- the first of many exciting bands to come at Laura Jean Music Academy.

“Proud” is an understatement when it comes to how we feel about 10-year LJMA student and soon-to-be alumnus, Easton Aero.
Easton’s tenacity, determination, and commitment to excellence are reflected in his incredible accomplishments:
🎶 Accepted to Northeastern University to study Music Industry and Business Administration
🎶 Graduated as Valedictorian of his graduating class
🎶 Selected to sing at his school’s graduation ceremony
🎶 Awarded Excellence in Leadership and Choral Music for his work as President of his school’s music program
🎶 Varsity member of Squad Harmonix for four years as both a bass singer and beatboxer
🎶 Accepted to A Ca****la Academy three years in a row
Over the past ten years, Easton has studied beatboxing, piano, voice, songwriting, and music theory at LJMA while participating in every performance opportunity available to him.
Not only has his musicality flourished through years of dedicated training, but he is also known as one of the sweetest, kindest, most considerate, and genuine friends anyone could ask for. He is always the first to check in on others, remembers the little details that matter, shows up to support his friends at performances, and consistently puts others before himself.
Easton is a shining example of what can be achieved through hard work, discipline, perseverance, and a kind-hearted (yet cheeky!) disposition.
We are incredibly proud of you, Easton, and cannot wait to see where life takes you next. We will be cheering you on every step of the way. We love you buddy 🩷🎶🩷
At Laura Jean Music Academy, students are given more than 25 live performance opportunities each year, ranging from monthly performances at local senior living communities to festivals and appearances on iconic stages such as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
Every performance is filmed and reviewed in class the following week. These sessions celebrate each student’s successes while also identifying areas for growth and improvement.
We believe live performance is one of the most important keys to success. Through regular opportunities to perform, students are able to refine their songs in front of a variety of audiences, build genuine confidence on stage, and grow within a kind, welcoming, and supportive community of like-minded and dedicated performers.
